Alpine nude
Return to DiscussionsLast week I was hiking naked in the Austrian Alps, another great week organised by NEWT. Here in the UK our highest mountains are Ben Nevis (1344m)in Scotland andSnowdon in Wales (1085m). Whilst ruggedly beautiful they are bleak, windswept, cold summits - not the places to go naked. Imagine the delight of hiking in the Alps climbing to well over 1500m. The mountains are ruggedly stunning. The meadows reach to the mountain tops full of wild flowers and butterflies which just might settle on a passing hiker. The forests are natural and straight out of the children's fairy tales. The lakes are wonderfully clear. And to do it all naked! I felt truly one with nature. (I haven't tried doing it clothed so I don't know if being naked made me appreciate nature more intently)
That evening we toasted Pascal and his wife Clarisse for looking after us so well, arranging all the wonderful walks and feeding us so well. The beer and wine never ran out but now we had Snaps for our toast. Thanks also to NEWT and Richard for organising the whole event. There are more photos in my profile and there is a TN group dedicated to NEWT. Let's look forward to more next year.
Whilst on the hikes two other naked hiking weeks were mentioned: one in Switzerland and one in Saxony. Alas I'm otherwise engaged while they are on.
